Annual Report 2011 - Community Foundation
Letter from the President Dear Friends & Partners of the Community Foundation, When you live in the Texas Hill Country, it’s easy to love where you live! When you love where you live, you naturally want to take care of the area and plan for it’s future. That part’s not so easy unless, of course, you allow the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country to assist you in your philanthropic planning. For twenty-nine years, the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country has served area donors and the causes they champion: education, the arts, youth, family, scholarships, and community service. In those years, the Community Foundation has distributed a massive $11 million to charitable causes. 2011 was a year of change that continued to focus on connecting with the present, while still planning for the future. This Annual Report reflects the concentrated efforts of the Board of Trustees and the staff who worked diligently to provide an effective vehicle for members of the community to set aside monies to invest in our Texas Hill Country. Letter from the Director and President The Board of Trustees managed the creation of new funds and the disbursement of grants and scholarships. New funds created included: Becky’s Hope Fund Fredericksburg Parks & Recreation Foundation Fund Adolph and Ida Karger and the Felix, Betty and Felicia Barth Fund Scholarships remained high on the priority list at the Community Foundation, as evidenced by the totals awarded for the year: a colossal $80,000 was distributed by the Foundation to area high school seniors seeking to further their education. As we prepare to celebrate our 30th Anniversary of service to the Texas Hill Country in 2012, we ask you to carefully consider how you can be a part of the mission and vision of the Community Foundation. Interested, yet? We hope so! Join us in bettering the lives of those around us and improving the Hill Country we love so dearly! Rob Kelly President, Board of Trustees Our Heritage… In 1981, a few forward-thinking residents of the Texas Hill Country embarked on a journey to establish perpetual philanthropy. Their efforts have been wildly successful and many in the area have reaped the benefits. Mrs. Alma Dietert gave the first philanthropic gift of $5,000, and she continued to contribute during her lifetime and through her estate. Other area residents followed Mrs. Dietert’s lead, and The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country (formerly the Kerrville Area Community Trust) now boasts assets of more than $9.1 million. The Foundation currently manages 98 separate funds, and serves Kerr, Gillespie, Kendall, and Bandera counties. More importantly, it has distributed over $11.8 million for charitable purposes in those counties! Grants to local nonprofit agencies and scholarships to graduating seniors top the priority list of needs the Foundation fills. The Community Foundation also partners with local businesses to offer Summit, a training event for nonprofit professionals. Summit provides quality, affordable education for staff and board members alike. Additionally, the Foundation presents and hosts the Snow Ball Gala, a biennial formal gathering that benefits non-profit organizations within our service area. The Community Foundation strives to assist donors achieve their philanthropic goals through the creation of new funds and through contributions to existing funds. Involvement in and knowledge of the Hill Country continues to keep the Community Foundation in the forefront of visionary thinking, a reflection of the efforts of its humble origin: Philanthropic efforts that are The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country | 2011 Annual Report 2 Table of Contents Introduction 1.

When considering your options in philanthropic giving, the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country offers many advantages to creating a fund: Assistance in creating funds that asks the larger questions about what you want to achieve with your life, your assets and your legacy Ability to leverage collective knowledge, creativity and resources for a deeper impact in the community Professional investment advisors manage the funds Significant discounts for major money managers services Fewer expenses associated with investments because of the aggregation of other funds in the investment pool A qualified board and staff committed to responsibly managing the assets The security of knowing your gifts will be used wisely and by following the guidelines set forth in the fund agreement An annual, independent audit of all funds Inclusion of the fund name in the Annual Report Assistance with estate planning issues Use of split interest trusts that provide current income to a donor, and later benefit the charitable cause of a donor’s choosing Benefit of not needing to create a 501(c)(3) organization The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country | 2011 Annual Report 5 Opening a Fund Opening a fund at the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country is a simple and flexible way to accomplish your charitable goals. Funds created allow the maximum tax deduction and give you the power to make a difference today and forever through a lasting legacy in our area. Follow these three steps to make a perpetual gift: 1. Choose a name for the fund Donors should carefully consider the fund’s name, as it stays with the fund forever. Grants made from a fund recognize the fund by name. Examples of how to name a fund include: The name of the person establishing the fund (i.e. the Caroline and Christopher Davis Unrestricted Fund) The family name (i.e. the Hawthorne Family Fund) A favorite cause (i.e. the Visual Arts Endowment Fund) A memorial (i.e. the Walter Perkins Memorial Scholarship Fund) An Anonymous Fund 2. Pinpoint the type of impact you want your fund to make Designate a fund in one of the following ways: Unrestricted-Donors who choose this type of fund prefer that distributions always address the community’s highest priorities. Field of Interest-Donors choosing this type of fund want to support a specific area of interest, such as the arts, education, or a particular segment of society (i. e. children). Designated-This fund is chosen by donors who want to name specific charitable organizations to receive monies, ensuring future funding for a donor’s favorite charity. Agency Endowment-This type of fund is opened by organizations as a means of endowment that supports the organization’s efforts. The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country | 2011 Annual Report 6 Donor Advised-This fund is often chosen by donors wanting be active in the recommendation process regarding the use of the fund’s proceeds. Donor may make suggestions to the Community Foundation Board of Trustees. Donor advised funds can be endowed, or non-endowed. Scholarship-A fund often established in honor or in memory of a loved one to benefit a graduating high school senior. More information can be found about scholarship funds on page 12 of this Annual Report. 3. Choose the method of making your gift and leaving your legacy Many gifts begin to work immediately: Cash (minimum balance required to begin disbursements) Securities: The charitable deduction is based on full market value for both closely-held and publicly-traded stocks. Capital gains taxes on appreciation are avoided. Real Estate: If donor has held real estate for more than one year, the benefits mimic that of securities. The Community Foundation may hold or sell the real estate. Wills and bequests Deferred gift agreements Insurance policies Various other split-interest trusts All donors are urged to designate a portion of their fund for unrestricted purposes to allow for changing needs in the community and future projects. The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country | 2011 Annual Report 7 Agency Endowed Funds Boys and Girls Club of the Texas Hill Country Endowment Fund Christian Assistance Ministry Fund Hill Country ADR Center Fund Hill Country Community Needs Council Endowment Fund Hill Country Rehabilitation House, Inc. Humane Society of Kerrville Endowment Fund Kerrville Performing Arts Society Endowment Fund New Horizons Fund Riverside Nature Center Fund Special Opportunity Center Fund Stacy Oswalt Memorial Charitable Fund Symphony of the Hills Talent Development Fund The Good Samaritan Center Building Maintenance Endowment Fund The Museum of Western Art Endowment Trust Fund Non-profit 501(c)(3)organizations can benefit forever with the creation of an Agency Endowed Fund in their name. Net earnings are distributed by the Community Foundation according to the direction of the charity. Individual donors or the charity, itself, can make contributions to the endowment for distribution to the organization. Non-profit organization supporters and volunteers are encouraged to make donations to the charity’s endowment fund. Donations can be memorials, honorariums, or simply a gift to support the entity they champion. A gift to the endowment fund for an organization is a means to provide a lasting legacy for that organization. The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country | 2011 Annual Report 8 Designated Funds Adolph and Ida Karger and the Felix, Betty and Felicia Barth Fund Becky's Hope Fund Betty Jane Bell Kerr County Livestock Fund Charles Smayda Fund for TLC Christian Assistance Ministry Maintenance Fund Fredericksburg Parks and Recreation Foundation Fund Designated Funds are established by a donor (or donors) who specifically assigns an organization to benefit from the fund.

The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country | 2011 Annual Report The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country | 2011 Annual Report 9 11 Scholarships Scholarship awards are always a top priority at the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country. More than 300 scholarships worth over $2 million have been distributed to high school seniors since the inception of the Community Foundation. Generous donors have created over 20 different scholarship funds that directly address the financial needs of students in the area. Scholarships through the Community Foundation can be narrow or broad, depending on the wishes of the donor. The staff works closely with donors to help them define their intent to better fulfill their philanthropic aspirations. Scholarship Application Information Scholarship information and deadline dates are available online at: www.communityfoundation.net. Establishing a Scholarship Donors interested in establishing a fund may do so by working with the Community Foundation staff to answer the following questions: What do I want to name the fund? Do I want the fund to last into perpetuity? Do I want to target a particular field of study? Do I care what college the student attends? Do I care from what high school the student graduates? Once answered, the fund is created and is considered charitable; thus, funds are fully deductible from federal income tax. (Be sure to consult your professional tax advisor about your individual situation.) The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country | 2011 Annual Report 12 Scholarship Funds A.D.
